Top SchoolSimon Scannell is a Senior Security Engineer based in Zurich with nine years of hands-on experience in vulnerability research across web and cloud stacks. He began as a self-taught researcher focused on PHP applications like WordPress and Magento and has scaled that expertise into roles at RIPS, Sonar, and now Google, where he investigates cloud vulnerabilities across all stacks. Simon combines pragmatic exploit development with an eye for automated detection, having worked on open-source product security for Zimbra, Horde and GoCD. He moves comfortably between deep technical research and cross-team remediation, translating complex findings into actionable fixes for large platforms.
